The worst NFL starts ever and the Dolphins' chances of going 0-16

It has been a very, very bad start for the Miami Dolphins, who have been outscored 102-10 in their first two losses to Baltimore and New England. To add insult to insult, both games were at home.

Is this the worst start in the history of the NFL? Football Outsiders' DVOA rating suggests that this is at least the worst start in the modern history of the NFL. DVOA breaks down play-by-play to look at how well teams play adjusted for situation and opponent (explained more here). We have that play-by-play data back to 1986, and sure enough, the 2019 Dolphins find themselves among the 10 worst teams of the past 34 seasons through two games.
